Architects announce supports and extend Australian ‘Holy Hell’ tour

Architects are on the brink of legend status. In ten years time, the metalcore monoliths will headline Download Festival. Their 2018 release Holy Hell laughed in the face of other British “rock acts” who are struggling to maintain relevance in the face of critics and fans.

The facts say it all – metal is the fastest growing genre in the world and bands like Architects speak to a generation of music fans on an ultra-intimate level unmatched by so many.

As announced in February, Architects are bringing their acclaimed Holy Hell tour to Australia this August. Now the British lords have unveiled two huge support acts to quench the thirst of mosh-hungry fans who are simply gnawing at every crumb of down-tuned riffage they’re gifted.

Sydney’s very own Polaris will continue their path to total galaxy domination, joining the nationwide tour, as well as fellow Brits While She Sleeps, who were last in the country for an exclusive performance at Unify Gathering 2019. 

Due to overwhelming demand, the band have also announced a second Sydney show at Luna Park’s Big Top for August 9th.

Buckle in tight, this tour could shift the tectonic placement of Australia and dismantle the Earth’s crust as we know it.

Metalcore forever.
